Patent EP-0732859-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAMILTON JOHN F JR
IPC: H04N1/48
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: Apparatus is described for processing a digitized image signal obtained from an image sensor having color photosites aligned in rows and columns that generate at least three separate color values but only one color value for each photosite location, means for interpolating color values for each photosite location so that it has three different color values. The apparatus includes a memory for storing the digitized image signal and a processor operative with said storing means for generating an appropriate color value missing from a photosite location by the interpolation of an additional color value for such photosite locations from color values of different colors than the missing color value at nearby photosite locations. The processor also includes structure for obtaining Laplacian second-order values and gradient values in at least two image directions from nearby photosites of the same column and row and for adding the Laplacian second-order values and the gradient values to define a classifier and for selecting a preferred orientation for the interpolation of the missing color value based upon a classifier. Finally, a arrangement is provided for interpolating the missing color value from nearby multiple color values selected to agree with the preferred orientation.

IPC: H02P6/20
Filed: 1997-11-10
Abstract: An arrangement for generating drive signals for a multi-phase d.c. motor (8) having a plurality of windings (2, 4, 6), comprising a multi-phase inverter (10) which supplies the drive signals to the windings (2, 4, 6) of the motor in such a manner that these windings are recurrently energized by the drive signals in a given sequence. At least one of the windings (2, 4, 6) is not supplied with a drive signal at least during predetermined free periods. The arrangement further comprises a phase detector (40) which under control of said multi-phase inverter (10) samples the back-emf signals of these windings in order to obtain a phase-error signal, a low-pass filter (42) which generates a control signal in dependence upon the phase-error signal, and a controllable oscillator (44) which generates a frequency signal whose frequency depends on the control signal. The timing with which the multi-phase inverter (10) supplies the drive signals to the windings (2, 4, 6) depends on the frequency signal, the arrangement thus comprising a phase-locked loop formed by the multi-phase inverter (10), the phase detector (40), the low-pass filter (42) and the oscillator (44). The arrangement further comprises a lock detector (70) which on the basis of informtaion about the frequency and phase of the phase-error signal and information about the frequency and phase of the frequency signal determines whether or not the phase-locked loop is locked in phase.

Abstract: A semiconductive ceramic composition having negative resistance-temperature

primary component, and, as secondary components, at least one oxide of an element
selected from Fe and Al and at least one oxide of an element selected from
Si, Zr, Hf, Ta, Sn, Sb, W, Mo, Te, Ce, Nb, Mn, Th, and P. A semiconductive ceramic
composition having a resistivity of approximately 10 Ω·cm to 100 Ω·cm at
room temperature is obtained by controlling the amount of additives. Since the resistivity
at room temperature can be enhanced to several times or more that of the
conventional compositions while characteristics of the conventional compositions
are maintained, the composition may be widely applied to control heavy current.
